Kathi Fox Havener knew she wanted to be a writer when she was just nine years old and would make up stories about herself as a pirate, a spy, and sometimes even a rock star. A self-described ""word nerd,"" she is also a technical writer, editor, communications mentor, and children's story teller. For more than 30 years, Kathi has worked with children in various church camp settings-cooking, teaching, telling stories around the campfire, and dodging water balloons. Always ready for a good story and a great laugh, Kathi makes her home in Michigan with Jay, her husband of more than 40 years.
